Answer: x = 4.5
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Reorder the terms:
3x = -9 + 5x
2) Solving
3x = -9 + 5x
3) Solving for variable 'x'.
4) Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
5) Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
3x + -5x = -9 + 5x + -5x
6) Combine like terms: 3x + -5x = -2x
-2x = -9 + 5x + -5x
7) Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-2x = -9 + 0
-2x = -9
8) Divide each side by '-2'.
x = 4.5
9) Simplifying
x = 4.5
Answer:
50
Step-by-step explanation:
150-100 = 50
7- 5n=6+6(n+2)
7- 5n=6+6n+12
7 -5n=18+6n
5n-6n=18-7
-11n=11
n=-1

General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
- Equality Properties
<u>Algebra I</u>
- Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define systems</u>
y = 5x - 3
3x - 2y = 27
<u>Step 2: Rewrite systems</u>
- Define: 3x - 2y = 27
- Add 2y on both sides: 3x = 2y + 27
- Divide 3 on both sides: x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 3: Redefine</u>
y = 5x - 3
x = 2/3y + 9
<u>Step 4: Solve for </u><em><u>y</u></em>
- Substitute in <em>x</em>: y = 5(2/3y + 9) - 3
- Distribute 5: y = 10/3y + 45 - 3
- Combine like terms: y = 10/3y + 42
- Subtract 10/3y on both sides: -7/3y = 42
- Divide -7/3 on both sides: y = -18
